A few weeks ago I experienced PP and a total return to normalcy which coincided with the addition of Pancreatin however it did not hold up to further testing.

The cause was cold pasta introduced at the same time.

The following works :

- Cold/warm pasta
- Navy beans
- Qing Dai
- Asacol HD

Perfect-poop :)

Returns with the cold pasta etc.

What wrecks it is 15 hour work days requiring 8 'Cardio Igniter' energy drinks after coffee, several other energy drinks and then my tendency to eat treats like chocolate muffins etc.

I give up on the lactose free choco ice cream, just wreaks me.

I got in yesterday and one of our clients came flying into parking lot in his big truck blocking my path, yep he was there to find me for more emergency work on their financial system. Crazy crazy job.

Knowing what I know now if I were retired and could curb my sweet tooth I would have perfect poop every single day.

Gaining weight and anemia banished ! So there are many positives.

Hey aguywithuc.

Glad to see you are doing well.

I'm considering upping my protein intake a bit. I'm wondering what your main sources of proteins are?

Thanks.

Ugh, my guts started gurgling just hearing about all your energy drinks!! you're crazy!! Good to know the cold pasta leads to perfect poops! I keep meaning to add RS... Pasta salad sounds good. Thanks for the inspiration!

I usually boil one dozen egg sunday for the week and make grass fed beef chili with navy beans. I also buy chicken from whole foods and bake 6 of those for the week and when I spot nice filet mignon I buy those and cook them up medium rare for terrific sandwhiches with garlic powder and garlic salt.

We use about 1 loaf of UDI's gluten free per day.

Into the cardio igniter I like to put an equal amount of Slender Sticks 'Tropical' which has RS Fibersol-2. Some days I drink these all day to stay alert at the job as it does not bother me, unclear if the Slender Sticks help but tastes great.

I am now boiling one box of Barrilla Penne pasta every other day, and always put butter on it. All of these things make great snacks at work.

Nearly all of the fat from my longest prednisone course ever is gone, I tapered off in January after keeping the dose high while interviewing. Weight lifting gains are coming slowly with bench press being the most stubborn.

After lifting drink a blend of 70% oats-n-way combined with 30% or less of 'SYNTHA-6' which tastes great but has a lot of artificial sweeteners BUT my daughter is learning to drink one to ward off gobbling too much junk food after school.

Creatine 'Concrete' in no way bothers me and also has my body weight rising, I workout hard on weekends and then rest mon/tues when I am working long hours at the job.

Thanks for sharing, aguywithuc.

I def need to add more steak and grass fed beef for that l-carnitine.

I believe barilla uses durum wheat flour, which is another good source of RS. It also bulks up my stools and man does it go well with pasta sauce. :)

I'm warming up to UDIs as well, though I get addicted to it easily.

While on the subject of RS, can anyone point me in a direction to answer this question?
If you re-heat cooled down pasta or cold cooked potatoes, what happens to the RS content? Would the previous cooling action preserve it or would it be broken down again by the heat?
Posted 3/23/2014 12:11 AM (GMT 0)
pretty sure its broken down again, LL from what I remember reading. sorry.

Thanks Embers, cold food it is then, at least summer is on its way :-)

Everybody needs to try raw potato juice for RS
Posted 3/23/2014 7:39 AM (GMT 0)
Is the juice higher in RS than the whole potato? That's a surprise

Nice page here on RS with a table of starch levels I found useful

Apparently roasted cooled potatoes have far more RS than boiled cooled potatoes - again, no idea on how the chemistry of that works either!
Posted 3/23/2014 9:15 AM (GMT 0)
No maybe not but I think raw is the highest in RS and it's a good way to get a lot, not to mention the GI benefits in juicing potato alone

I found navy beans, and greenish bananas to be effective.. didn't have much luck with raw potato starch powder. Cold pasta is OK, though it doesn't contain as much RS as the above. Still, if it works for you, that's excellent.

Ditto. I previously discounted pasta but it works great and it does so for me warm enough to melt butter or cold.
